By Philippa Martin-King

The IEC Webstore has a useful preview function that allows everyone to see the content of IEC International Standards without having to make any payment. Now, there is a new purchase option accessible directly from each preview page.

No need to hit the Back button to purchase.

There are a variety of tools available to navigate the information contained in the IEC Webstore. From keyword search to publication reference, TC (Technical Committee) number or title, date or ICS Code, there are all kinds of manners of obtaining access to a standard or series of International Standards.

Clicking the > preview icon to the right of each reference opens up a new window with essential information such as the publication date, the scope and use of the standard, the table of contents, normative references and so on.
